true story: years ago there was an article in the local newspaper about a pink flamingo that was stolen from someone's front yard here in Central VA. a week later, the owners got a letter in the mail containing a picture of the pink flamingo in front of the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, TN. in the weeks that followed, the owners would occasionally get postcards and pictures of the flamingo at landmarks like the Mississippi river, New Orleans, the Grand Canyon, etc, as the theives made their way across the country with the abducted flamingo. eventually the communication stopped. the owners never found out who the culprit was and the flamingo was never returned.
i thought this was funny.
